It kinda faded with LSM leaving I think. He was going to push and expand it even harder with all that tree planting stuff. 

 

But now that he and all his associates are pretty much gone from the company, it's going in a new direction. They kinda dropped SMCU for now too, since the last episode ended on that cliffhanger with BoA...yet we haven't heard anything about it since

i forgot the mess happening at SM was in the beginning of this year, k-pop moves so fast 

i was never the biggest fan of SMCU tbh so i’m happy

What concerns me about aespa is that SM didn't make any announcements about pre-orders at all, this time around. 

 

For Girls and MY WORLD, they made announcements after 1 week of pre-orders and then again on the days of the comebacks. Obviously there have been issues with the album production this time. I still hope it should be as high a seller as the previous two albums, but it might take a little longer to get there. 

 

But the Spotify numbers have been great for them and the music and performances have been on point. They have been working so hard this year.

 

Because Kakao took over and they don't release final pre-order numbers (like IVE for example). They also did this with Fact Check

No, they do still announce them. They did for RIIZE for example and that album was distributed by Kakao and released after the takeover.

I NEED "Will I Ever See You Again?" in full right now...I've blown up the snippet in this video, it sounds like B-SOTY for sure

ME TOO i'm so curious to hear the ending of that song. I just know they're going to elevate that production 

but I need to hear Iced Coffee and Underwater in full SO BADLY

Riize is SM's new shiny toy so ofc SM would brag! They didn't announce the final pre-orders for 127 either

You lost, cause Taylor blocking them is cancelled it seems

 

I know miss Maga is preparing the new variants as we speak.

 

[katyberry]

Wait was Dream also distributed under Kakao for ISTJ or was it before?

[Dialamba]

Since Aespa is smashing can Kakao already sell their shares so IVE can finally have competent label.

Wouldn't mind if the Kwangya portal was closed permamently

No one posting about Orange Blood pre-sales. I guess we're tanking.

 

The pre-orders are not what the fans pre-oredered before the release, but what the company pre-ordered to the manufactures.

Which is why some groups have 1 Millions pre-ordererd but only 500K sold units.

They didn't lie, this project doesn't have any identity, the only decent songs were the singles. The other tracks sound like rejects from other male artists.

Yeah, someone already tried to spamm it yesterday 

 

I mean, he spend like 3 paragraphs bashing BongPD and his delusional interview instead of reviewing the album.

 

Seems like a kpop hater

I haven’t listened all tracks. As whole it’s underwhelming but it has some great songs. 
Now he got the success he wanted, he needs to go back to his roots.

If he wants to last, he needs a rebranding and not cosplaying as Justin Bieber 2.0. It never works.

i just don't think he has a musical personality so

to create one might be too difficult for him
